Related to Q no.2 : Q.6 sir if quorum is not present in a statutory meeting then will we follow section 174(4)?
(sir some one told me that in such a situation we will first see the articles of the co. & if AoA are silent then it will be the meeting, who will decide the consequence of non presence of quorum in the SM.)is it correct?
(another person told me that quorum is not necessary for a S.M. as in the SM no resolutions are passed & it is just an introduction meeting)I totally disageree with tthis view. plz give your views ...

Q.12 is a prospectus issued for rights issue ?
Q.13 Is pros. needed if rights issue is with renunciation ?
Q.14 Is rights issue a public issue bcz even persons, other than those to whom the sh. are offered,can apply for rights shares by purchasing renunciable rights from the market?
17 August 2010
->sec 56 says that no prospectus is needed for issue of shares to existing sh.h.(whether with or without the right of renunciation) but ->sec 67(3)says that if any person, other than the offeree can apply for the shares then prospectus is needed to be issued. So if rights are renunciable then the existing sh.h ke alava other persons(public) can also apply for those shares.
my Q.15 is whether sec 56 overrides the provisions of section 67(3) OR vice versa ?
Section 170 or 171 to 186 has no applicability on board meetings or any committee meetings of board. As per section 170 section 171 to 186 are mandatory for GM of a public company and in case of a private company they are not mandatory and provision of article shall prevail over section 171 to 186.
Answer 6:
Entire section 174 is applicable on the statutory meeting subject to the provision of section-170. In other words in case of a public company section 174 is mandatory but for a private company provision of article shall prevail n case quorum is not present. Quorum is must for a statutory meeting. Without quorum you cannot held statutory meeting.
Answer 7 and 8:
No need to waste your time on deemed company u/s 43A. It is completely obsolete from law.
You have to send notice of SM to the shareholders as this is a GM which is equal to AGM or EGM as far as compliance of section 171, 172 or 174 is concerned. It is recommended to send notice along with report to avoid postage exps.
Answer 10:
The question of diff between purpose of a notice of SM & a statutory report of SM does not arise bcoz both are statutory formalities. For this purpose you are requested to read the content of statutory report given in section 165.
Answer 11:
Yes a non member can become chairman of the company. Normally a director is elected as chairman of meeting. In company law it is not necessary for a director to hold shares of the company. So in this way a director who is not a shareholder can become chairman of the meeting.
Prospectus is not must for right issue. However a letter of offer is must. You may also treat this letter of offer as prospectus.
Answer 14:
Right issue is not necessarily a public issue. It is totally dependent on the language of the draft letter of offer. It is a bit difficult for me to make you understand the entire concept through net bcoz this question involves the deep and hidden interpretation of various sections like section 67, 81 and many more.
